[Primary prostatic infiltration by Burkitt's lymphoma].
OBJECTIVE
Genitourinary tract involvement arising from non-Hodgkin lymphoma occurs in 10% of patients; prostatic infiltration is uncommon and accounts for less than 0.1%. The uncommon clinical onset of this infrequent condition prompted us to report on the present case.


RESULTS
A 41-year-old male patient with lower urinary tract outflow obstruction arising from prostatic enlargement secondary to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (Burkitt's lymphoma) is described. Treatment with chemotherapy achieved good results. The clinical features, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are discussed and the literature briefly reviewed.


CONCLUSIONS
The present case emphasizes the need to include non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of lower urinary tract outflow obstructive symptoms in young men with prostatic enlargement.
